That's an interesting turn of phrase . . . Yikes . . .

If you're sure that pressing the unlock button for a long time doesn't open the windows on your i3, then you have a considerably more serious problem.

There's no calculus there, just taking the two Sound Pressure levels (SPL(1) and SPL(2) -- defined elsewhere, I guess), converting decibels (dB, or one tenth of a bel) to bels, then converting the bels to linear values, summing those values, converting the sum back into logarithmic bels and...

No vehicle inspections in Kansas, so if I ever get a newer EV, it's gonna get the Six Million Dollar Man "Death Probe" sound for maximum pedestrian safety.

The battery's in the frunk behind the removable panels and the storage bin, so you should be able to get to still in the garage. I'm sure somebody (or more likely multiple somebodies) has made a youtube video of i3 12V battery replacement step-by-step. edited to add . . . . somebody here will...

Sounds like a dead 12V battery which can throw all the error messages.

In the photo, the valve stem cap looks like it's still there. I have never heard of a tire just deciding to explode one night. I've seen tires on fire going down a highway on a semi-trailer yet never witnessed anything that catastrophic. I've heard of tires exploding in a burning garage, but...

In the olden days, they had a sticker with peel-able dots to indicate installation month and year, so when you had to get a jump start you look at those and say: "Darn it, I shoulda replaced that already!"

Yes. Might even be a lighter, too . . .

I figured I could get away a few more days before replacing the battery when weird things showed up and I ended up walking the kid to school in the middle of January.

I've got a '17 Rex, too. AFAICT, the charge light stays on as long as my car is unlocked and is still charging. If I lock it or the charging completes, it goes out. Since I've only got the 'occasional use charger', it's often not fully charged when I go out to the garage.

Do you have a local Braun, Access Mobility (or however they spell that), or other accessible vehicle outfitter there? I'd just give them a call and ask.

My Linux world vs. my wife's Apple world also sometimes butt heads too, especially over that apple HEIC image file format. It works better if she shares the pic to MMS from the gallery instead of from the camera app (or maybe vice-versa) so trying again might actually work despite the old...

While it's got more digits, I'm not sure that's the conclusion I'd draw.

I've never heard of switching off the interior alarm being a thing. I just tell the kids to remain very still. What is this function of which you speak?

The Germans have a strange interpretation of the checkmark, I've noticed.

Okay, here's my Covid project load from Summer 2020. It's 20 4"x4"x6' treated (heavy) fenceposts for a Girl Scout human Foosball table project. Remember the supply chain crisis? I went to every home improvement store in town to find these, since no one's online inventory was up-to-date or...

Having ROFL'd at the shelf-paper scene in Johnny Dangerously, I could never "wrap" a car with a straight face. Landau top, maybe . . .

What's that color? I don't think I've seen one like that, not that I see a lot anyway . . .

Purists might argue that a RWD car doesn't fit the definition of "Hot Hatch".
